band blew

Not going to bother reading why. too long.

i read some of this and now i need chemotherapy

is there a tl; dr

wow this is way too long
can mcr fans even read this much??

What a pretentious piece of shit
Like anyone is going to read this mess

hahahaha like i'm going to read that

seriously i dont even feel very strongly about this band but all of those words make me want to swallow my own eyeballs so that they dissolve in my stomach acid they are such bad words to read

http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/154/912/berneydidnotread.gif?1318992465

read the first paragraph and stopped because of how gay it was

tl;dr appears to be "I got tired of it"

treb watching that gif while death grippin' is nothing short of hilarious

no one cares about a bird that flew into your house gerard

I really tried to read some of that, but it was just absolutely ridiculous.

yeah i think i read a total of 20 words scattered throughout and lold hard

TL; DR Gerard doesn't feel it anymore.
The unsaid: Mikey fucked a 19-year-old and is having some legal issues

as far as i know, there's no abridged version, but even as a fan of the band myself, i had a hard time getting through all that shit. basically, the band(or at least just Way) lost the spark they used to feel while playing their songs and decided they couldn't go any further. there you go.

@FromDaHood also, what you added.

When you're in your late 30s and all you see in the crowd at your shows is a bunch of 12 year old girls throwing their training bras onto the stage
Yeah I'd quit too

Wait since when is fucking a 19 year old a problem

i would see that as the opposite of a problem

19 year olds are like ripe for the picking

Because he's married and she has a kid and apparently him and the 19 (now 20 according to some sources) are getting engaged or something. It's not rape or anything like that.

lol what a cool dude

My knowledge of this is jigsawed together from a conversation I heard yesterday and a quick scan of a news article so forgive me for my lack of specificity.

I read the whole thing... Shame on me. There was a total of about 4 or 5 necessary sentences. It all boiled down to... "I'm not feeling it anymore." Lord knows all that other artsy bull satisfied the screaming teens ready to grab a noose.

This is unintentionally hilarious for how absurdly it's written.

Pauses to explain that he's entertaining friends? Seriously? It's a letter - you don't need to take a pause there, just start writing later.

I'm apparently the only person who actually enjoyed reading the letter. It isn't going to please those that rejoiced at the demise
of My Chemical Romance, obviously. It was written to explain to the fans what happened and what's going to happen in the
future. It appears that Gerard lost the spark that made My Chemical Romance what it was and backed down. Whatever other
reasons (Mikey's problem, the members having families of their own, just getting old and tired) were unaddressed because it
doesn't matter. My Chemical Romance is done being a band, and that's that. Just drop the bullshit anti-hype train, already.

I would have liked it if it didn't have that ridiculous intro and weird focus shifts. I like the band, I'm not trying to start an anti-hype train, I just didn't appreciate how it was written.

Anyone want to point out where in his little story he states the reason why? Ain't nobody got time for that letter.

What I took from that is he went on stage and was like "meh" and then did drugs and then stopped doing drugs and made the band stop. Then I stopped reading cuz nothing about that was easy to read.

The writing is not cohesive in the least. It's a good insight, but of course we want to hear more.

That was a really overly complicated way of saying "I felt burned out and it wasn't fun anymore." So uh, thanks for that, Gerard.

as a fan of the band I gotta say I didn't read that shit.
que :ain'tanybodygottimeforthat:

tl;dr

Long, so won't read.

ITT: tl;dr
The lead singer basically wasn't feeling it anymore. As multiple comments before this one have pointed out.

They will do several reunion tours I guarantee it.

And honestly I couldn't care less this band ran it's course a while ago.

that was uh

interesting to read

Holy fuck he is a pretentious cock

this FAR exceeds the 140 character limit

goddammit gerard

"Because it is not a band it is an idea."

oh man

As an English major, this was atrocious to read.

I didn't understand anything, but they'll be back in like 5 years when they realize their projects aren't successful.

what the fuck was that

I have read kindergarten short stories that are more coherent than that.

"our band sucked dick"

well that's enough for me

yeah that got me hard too

Read the first two paragraphs, made me feel sick. What a pretentious pile of wank, all he needed to say was "we're burnt out" or "we're just not enjoying music anymore" etc. Was their any need for the artistic bollocks about him making coffee!?!?

Fuck me that was pretentious.

neg

that post is so ugh

tl;dr

I skimmed. His writing style annoys me. He's one of those people who THINK they can write, and write like they can write, but really can't, so their prose comes out clunky and trying too hard.

Also, LOL @ "I woke up, felt like shit and made coffee" as the first sentence. Reminds me of this: http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/A-Day-in-the-Life-lyrics-The-Beatles/D891AABE21D772B148256BC20013DED9

He should stick to drawing pictures.

"I skimmed. His writing style annoys me. He's one of those people who THINK they can write, and write like they can write, but really can't, so their prose comes out clunky and trying too hard."

exactly this.

"I skimmed. His writing style annoys me. He's one of those people who THINK they can write, and write like they can write, but really can't, so their prose comes out clunky and trying too hard."

Second this. I cannot fucking stand people who write like this. My old band had an over-dramatic member who wrote status's on facebook like this multiple times a day, glad to say that band is done.

For a GOOD example of pulling said writing style off, refer to pro-wrestler Bret Hart's book. Which he surprisingly wrote himself, rather than use ghost writers. Guy's a really good writer.

the melodramatic-ness of this post almost comes out of it and tries to lash out at you

"I'M ARTSY! Please give me attention!" - Gerard Way

One of the worst things I've ever read. Self-indulgent, melodramatic wank. I'm glad they split up. Tossers.

That made Billy Corgan look like fucking Hemingway. Eurgh.

aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww


>I feel love for you, for our crew, our team, and for every single human being I have shared the band and stage with-

Ray. Mikey. Frank. Matt. Bob. James. Todd. Cortez. Tucker. Pete. Michael. Jarrod.

Since I am bad with goodbyes. I refuse to let this be one. But I will leave you with one last thing-

My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die.
It is alive in me, in the guys, and it is alive inside all of you.
I always knew that, and I think you did too.

Because it is not a band-
it is an idea.

Love,
Gerard

statement was pretentious and self-indulgent

it read like it was written by a middle schooler

Fuck this guy, who does he think he is? You played in a generic pop band that played songs that go "Verse, chorus, verse, chorus."

This explanation is 10000000000 times more complicated then any of the shit music they wrote.

It shouldn't be this complicated to say "I was tired and had some substance problems". Came across as really arrogant, but needless to say, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge will always hold a special place for me (even if I don't listen to it nearly as much anymore).

"Fuck this guy, who does he think he is? You played in a generic pop band that played songs that go "Verse, chorus, verse, chorus."

Funny you say this because they explicitly avoided doing just that on their album The Black Parade.

ugh his kids name is bandit wut

What on earth did that whole story about the bird have to do with anything?

Also, I assumed that Bandit was a dog

"Funny you say this because they explicitly avoided doing just that on their album The Black Parade."

You mean the "verse, chorus, verse, choruse" thing?

I don't even think I've heard that record.

oh so you know next to nothign about the band yet you've formed a complete opinion about them? how nice!

Why is this not written in a semi-official way? As if stating the causes? No, instead it's some self-indulgent bullshit. Fuck your prose, Way. Fuck your prose.

A BIRD FLEW INTO MY HOUSE GUYS. IT MADE ME SCARED GUYS.
ALSO I MET UP WITH A HIPPIE LATER, GUYS. WE PLAYED GUITAR TOGETHER GUYS. I TOLD HIM I'D CALL HIM BUT I PROBABLY WON'T, GUYS.

It's an incoherent ramble is the issue. The fact that it reads like it was written by the 8th grader who thinks he's the smartest 8th grader (but really isn't) doesn't help.

This reminds me of L'etranger except it's somehow even more insufferable

band rules

sucks that they broke up

"What on earth did that whole story about the bird have to do with anything?

Also, I assumed that Bandit was a dog"

Me too. Or a cat.

@eleventhsun: go and listen to The Black Parade, it is by far their best.

tl;dr- "i'm not okay"

(I Promise You)

that's probably the worst song title

This should've happened before they released anything, but better late than never.

*deletes repost*

Summary: I'm old and can't make music anymore.

nitro dumb dumb dumb
i'm nitro
nothing really rhymes with nitro
wanna fight bro?
i gotta feeling and it's tight n' low
nitro nitro
dum dum dum
du du du
d d d

I remember where I was when MCR broke up

I can't believe I actually found the time to read through this whole mess. Wow. The dude's so pretentious and melodramatic. He could have just said that he didn't feel it anymore and that would have been the end of it, but nooo. He has to try and come off all deep but ends up sounding like a pretentious middle/high schooler who thought they were smart and wrote crap like this to try and wow everyone. Guess his fans will eat it up since they are mostly kids middle/high schooler's anyway.

I read the whold damn thing and I still don't know why MCR broke up.

Read the whole pretentious bloody speech, no idea why the band broke up what.so.ever

Gerard should write a book

still can't believe he named his daughter Bandit for fucks sake.

wait bandit is his daughter not a fucking animal?

he writes a page long goodbye intended for mcr fans and this thread is almost nothing but people making fun of it

if you read all of that and hate this band, the joke is on you

Bandit is the name of his daughter.

That was the most pretentious heap of shit I've ever had to read. My god Gerard, look into this thing called humility. You should always have respect for your art but should also always treat it as if it were something any bloke could come up with given the right frame of mind. Be humble. People don't like megalomaniacs. Even my girlfriend, who is like obsessed with this band and claims they saved her life as a kid, read this letter and was like "Fuck you Gerard Way, that didn't explain anything, you dick."

Psh. Gerard Way Too Long, more like it.

Boom! Ba-BOOM!

I'M NOT OOOOOOKAY!

ACTUALLY, YES I AM!

I don't listen to them half as much as I once did but as my first fav band I always will have a place for them in my heart. That explanation was long,dramatic, vague, but honestly MCR always has been very theatrical in a dramatic, young, kinda way so it's kind of fitting lol. I would of liked more about the break up but if you watch live shows from the early days then watch them in the danger day times you can see the loss of passion in the band in my opinion so after reading this it was extremely clear that geard just lost his drive. Sounds like he got back into drinking over it, (could of inspired some good music lol) I think it's for the best because by no means are they seen as legends but there special to a lot of people & this is better then them going on a 10
Year bing of bad records. Just my opinion

Three Cheers was a damn good album.

that was a lot of writing to say nothing.

I read it. The whole thing. Fuck you, haters.

At the same time, I think that entire article could have been summed up with "I have entered a new era of my life and it's time to leave the old one behind"

That was the most pretentious heap of shit I've ever had to read.

couldnt get through the whole thing but it was pretty funny.

Band was shit.

Can we move on, too many fucks are being given.

shouldve went out on a higher note than that piece of crap album danger days

theyll undoubtably be back in a couple years to cash in

not going to read because i dont give a fuck but im assuming the essay is extremely melodramatic

I bet there was no bird.

Crymsonblaze: Clever girl. Gerard Way will be visiting your bunk bed to touch you tonight.
